When you start looking at high schools, it can seem like there is a lot to do. Open houses, entrance exams, shadow visits, applications, and deadlines can make it seem as though everything needs to happen at once.

It does not.

Whether your student is just beginning to learn about high schools, starting to visit campuses, or already preparing applications, you are not behind. Every family starts in a different place, and there is no single right way to begin.

You do not need to figure out the entire process today. You just need to understand where your student is in the journey and take the next step from there.

Your next step depends on your student’s grade, interests, and readiness. Wherever you are starting, we will help you understand what to focus on now and what can wait until later.

Start below. Select your student’s grade, and we will show you the next step.
